Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Nielsville, MN.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Nielsville who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
